    Boiler got a reaction from SalishSea in Getting passport for adopted minor child.   
    A spouse of a U.S. citizen who lives in the United States may be eligible for naturalization based on their marriage if they meet the following criteria:
    Be at least 18 years old when filing
    Be a lawful permanent resident (LPR) at the time of filing
    Have lived in the U.S. as an LPR for at least three years before filing
    Have been in the U.S. for at least 18 months out of the three years before filing
    Have been married to their U.S. citizen spouse for the three years before filing and while the application is being processed
    Have lived in a state or USCIS district for at least three months that has jurisdiction over their place of residence

    She has not been a legal resident for 5 years, you have to meet ALL REQUIREMENTS
     
    You have been a lawful permanent resident of the United States for at least 5 years;
    You have demonstrated continuous residence in the United States for at least 5 years;
     
    and she didn't come across the southern border illegally.

    Now I went down to Denver on Saturday but did not go into the green bit, in general conversation Denver is the area within the ring road. Give or take.
     
    Aurora is the east side of Denver and has a very different view, interesting she mentioned she caught them bussing once.

    Seriously there needs to be a major denazification process, I do not see it happening however.
     
    Other than that hit them where it hurts, in their pockets. There seems to be some push back, spending all that money on a non education, actually one that could have a negative aspect on future job prospects.

    I do not know the totality of your situation and not sure it would be a positive, but you can send the document to your Mother. Pretty unusual for such documents to be looked at.

    I have already mentioned that spouses of US citizens are forgiven for overstay.
     
    This has also been answered earlier by Crazy Cat. Visa number availability is not applicable to immediate relatives of US citizens.
     
    File both concurrently. I also second advice on finding a good lawyer.

    Boiler reacted to The White Fiance in Easy Tourism Countries for Green Card Holders who Need Visas?   
    I have a follow-up.
     
    I have come to believe the whole Schengen tourist visa business, for people from countries Europeans don't like, is a racist scam. The actual purpose of the process, at least in the countries we have dealt with, appears to be to find excuses to keep certain applicants out, especially Africans. They do not want Africans on their continent, but they want to virtue-signal and hide the truth, so they encourage people to apply, and then they find any excuse to reject their applications.
     
    We went to Greek consulate. We brought all sorts of things they hadn't asked for, in addition to the things on their list. We thought we would try to be prepared in case they tried to sandbag us. Then they asked for other things we did not have with us. They would not let us sit down for an hour in their waiting room to download things, and they would not let us drop a missing item off the next day. We were able to prove we had many, many times the assets needed to pay for a brief trip, but they suddenly decided they had to have tax returns, which I don't carry around with me.
     
    We had paid hotel and Airbnb accommodations for every destination, but they demanded to see tickets to show how we would get from country to country inside Europe. They said airline tickets were better proof of where we intended to be than hotel receipts. That's idiotic, since refundable airline tickets can be changed very easily, but a good hotel booking in a peak month is like gold. If you have one, you will do anything to hold onto it.
     
    I went home and requested refunds for all our bookings, and now we are giving Switzerland a shot. Greece said we could try again, but my feeling is that if you're going to suffer like this, it should be for the best possible destination, not Greece, which is perfectly fine, but not on the level of Switzerland.
     
    We are applying mainly for the purpose of getting my wife's biometrics into the system. The Swiss are very responsible, so even if they don't accept us, I think they'll obey the law and keep her biometrics. The other countries we applied to spat on the law and threw her fingerprints out, so we know they never actually looked at her applications, although they did encourage us to give them money for doing nothing. They just took her papers, set them aside, lied to us about processing them, and threw them out after rejecting her.
     
    We may apply for a Japanese and/or Taiwan visa simultaneously with the one for Switzerland. Maybe if the Swiss let us in, we won't even go this year. At least we'll be in the system.
     
    I got some information from an Indian who has been through this mess many times, and he told me the tricks to watch out for, so maybe we'll eventually see Europe. He said I should give my wife a sponsorship letter and notarize it, which is moronic and has no legal significance, but I will do it next time. He said I should bring our marriage license. Crazy. As it happens, I did take our license to the consulate, because I was paranoid.

    The decision to grant her a visitor visa is primarily based on the interviewing officer assessment of her ties to her home country and her likelihood to overstay   Unfortunately providing the information you have suggested is mostly likely going to weaken her apparent ties to her home country .. by demonstrating strong ties to US family..  and also  increased the IO concern that she would overstay in order to support you. 
    So my thoughts are .. don’t provide that documentation.
